The NFL Combine is underway in Indianapolis and the Philadelphia Eagles will have the opportunity to get an up-close look at the most historic wideout class in draft history.
The wide receivers are meeting with the media on Tuesday and Baylor stud playmaker Denzel Mims is on the Birds radar.
While meeting with the media, Mims confirmed that he met with the Eagles during the combine process as well as the Senior Bowl from last month.

The Texas native has the size, speed, and range for a wide receiver and will only get better as he progresses as a pro.

Mims creates instant separation with great hands, something that was missing out of the Eagles receivers last season. Mims makes contested catches and does a good job of tracking the ball.

If the Eagles choose not to address wide receiver with their first-round pick, they could target Mims in the late second or early third round.
